Do you have negative thoughts, beliefs, or patterns that haunt you and that won't change in spite of your own efforts? Do you need to heal from a loss or break free from something (or someone) that you're mired in? Do you need more feeling that you're on target in your life? I work with people who feel stuck, who would like to free themselves from stress, hurt, frustrating circumstances, dead-end careers, or unproductive behavior and move into a balanced and hopeful future. You can heal whatever has held you back or wounded you, design a new chapter in your life, and move on--even while coping with difficult issues.

Sometimes it's difficult to accomplish what you want or make the changes you seek in your life without a helping hand. If you've been trying unsuccessfully to deal with an inner or outer challenge your own, and you're still not finding the peace or success you had hoped for, Dr. Cohen will be happy to have a complimentary conversation with you to determine if coaching might be of assistance. She has over 20 years of experience helping people to heal from trauma, stress, divorce, job loss, destructive patterns, procrastination, and inner turmoil. It is her joy to help clients to know themselves better, heal from whatever has held them back, discover the best within themselves, and to find the enthusiasm and energy to go after whatever makes their hearts sing.

Dr. Cohen speaks about Life Change Coaching

Personal life coach Dr. Hiyaguha Cohen explains what life coaching is and how it can help you gain clarity about what you want and need next while discovering new possibilities, meeting the life-challenges facing you, and moving forward in your life with grace.

Studies show that people who get counseling or coaching by telephone make at least as much progress as those who meet with a counselor or coach in person. In fact, there's research showing that telephone counseling may work better, and that people who have experienced both in-person and long-distance therapy prefer to work by phone.

Because the economy has been miserable for a while now, many of us have succumbed to shortage mentality. We wouldn’t dare ask for a raise. And in fact, few companies have been giving out raises. Instead, benefits have been cut and then cut again. Now, though, there are some early signs that economic recovery may be on the wind. Your company might not yet be open to salary negotiation, but there are things you might be able to do in your current position right now to increase your compensation.

1. Ask for a percentage. Step back and evaluate how you might increase value for your company. Can you do something to bring more customers, increase visibility, expand offerings, boost efficiency? If so, write up a proposal outlining your idea, and suggest that if you manage to complete the project, the company could reward you by giving you a percentage of the increased revenue your efforts garner.

2. Ask for a bonus. If your boss says the company can’t afford to pay you more, ask for a bonus based on the company reaching certain benchmarks. This strategy is similar to asking for a percentage, except that your reward is tied to company performance, and it’s a one-time deal. Of course, it will be easier to win the proposition if you tie the bonus to your contribution. In other words, you get the bonus if the company does better and you can document the fact that you played a role.

3. Ask for telecommuting privileges. Now might be a great time to put forth the possibility of working from home part time. Why deal with the commute and a stagnant salary?

4. Negotiate with time instead of dollars. You can compensate for the lack of salary growth by creating a schedule you love, if your employer is willing. It can’t hurt to ask if you can tack on a week of vacation time, or come into work later or earlier, or shuffle your schedule to work only four days a week.

5. Up the training dollars. Your boss might not feel ready to risk giving you a salary boost, but you might be able to shake loose more money for professional development. If you approach your company with this idea, make sure you emphasize how the cost of the training will come back to them tenfold since it will help you to perform at a much higher level.
